Wine World Interview
Stevie Ann Rinehart: Wine Writer

Wine Writing Interview At Renaissance Wine Academy, we like to get up-close-and-personal with various wine industry pros. Our inaugural issue features Stevie Ann Rinehart, a versatile wine writer heading up the wine writing firm Burgundy Ink.
 
Always the humorous one, Stevie Ann first got into the wine business because "my husband and I were interested in having something other than milk or water with dinner." Click here for the full and fabulous story!
Become a featured client!
What's this?

Featured Client Program How would you like to get FREE exposure to hundreds of readers? In addition to providing you, our client, with value-added wine education and memorable events, there is an added perk for booking with the Academy. For a limited time, clients who book and fulfill 3 events within 90 days will be eligible to become a Featured Client in one of our newsletters.
 
What does that mean for you? That means that in this spot, right here, you will have an opportunity to summarize your company's offerings, provide your company's website and contact info, and share a testimonial about your wine event experience with the Academy-- which will then be sent out on a one-time basis as part of the newsletter to hundreds. All for how much? Just your smile.

Speedy Wine Tip
Champagne's cousin Cr�mant packs value-added punch

Cremant TablesettingThe next time you want to pop a cork, reach for a Cr�mant, which is a French sparkling wine made in exactly the same methods as its classic Champagne region counterpart...but from other regions, and without the hefty price tag! Ask your local wine shop for a Cr�mant - they come from a variety of regions, from Cr�mant de Bourgogne (from Burgundy) to Cr�mant d'Alsace (Alsatian), and others. Enjoy chilled with appetizers. Cheers!
